Intoxicated after drinking alcohol
Not able to think or walk normally because you drank a lot of alcohol.
用法パターン：
[someone] is/gets drunk
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"I am drink"* instead of *"I am drunk"* to describe their state after alcohol. Use *"drunk"* (adjective) for the condition, and *"drink"* as the verb for the action (e.g., *"I drank too much"* or *"I have drunk too much"*).
類義語
intoxicated (More formal and technical; often used in official or medical contexts.)
|
wasted (Very informal slang; often suggests being extremely drunk.)
|
tipsy (Suggests only slightly drunk, not as strong as 'drunk'.)
対義語
sober (Describes someone who has not drunk alcohol, or is no longer affected by it.)

Person who often drinks too much
A person who drinks a lot of alcohol very often, usually in a bad or unhealthy way.
用法パターン：
[someone] is a drunk
よくある間違い：
Learners may use *"drunk"* (noun) too generally, sounding rude. In many situations, *"He has a drinking problem"* or *"He is an alcoholic"* is more natural and less insulting than *"He is a drunk"*.
類義語
alcoholic (More clinical; can sound less judgmental and is often used in medical or support contexts.)
|
drunkard (Somewhat old-fashioned and formal; sounds more literary or moralistic.)
対義語
teetotaler (Refers to someone who never drinks alcohol at all.)

Overwhelmed by emotion or power
So full of a feeling or power that you cannot think clearly or normally.
用法パターン：
[someone] is drunk with/on [emotion/quality]
よくある間違い：
Learners may think this always refers to alcohol. In phrases like *"drunk with power"* or *"drunk on success"*, it is figurative and describes being so full of a feeling that you act as if you were drunk.
類義語
overwhelmed (Broader and more neutral; does not carry the specific alcohol metaphor.)
|
intoxicated (Often used figuratively in the same way, especially in formal or literary writing.)
対義語
clear-headed (Emphasizes calm, rational thinking unaffected by intense emotion or power.)
